The Emergency Aid Association is collecting for the "Return-to-School Backpack Program" to assist low-income school age children living in Suffield. Last August, 129 filled backpacks were distributed to children and youth identified as eligible. Subject notebooks, pencils, pens, calculators, page dividers, zippered binders, rulers, glue sticks, glue, erasers, pencil sharpeners, highlighters, earbuds, dry erase markers, scissors, index cards, folders, ruled paper, and pencil pouches/boxes are needed. Monetary donations are also welcome to provide for additional needs. If you can help, please drop off your donations by August 14, 2015 at the EAA located at 450 South Street in Suffield or at these other Suffield locations - Highland Park Market, Kent Memorial Library, located on Ffyler Place or the main Post Office. For more information, call 860-668-1986.
